Hi Andrew,

If you want to look to see if a Data column has been modified, you can use the DataRowVersion enum to get that information. Here is some same code:

' Compare the proposed version with the current.
If myDataRow.HasVersion(DataRowVersion.Proposed) Then
   If r("myColumn", DataRowVersion.Current) Is r(1, DataRowVersion.Proposed) Then
      MessageBox.Show("The original and the proposed are the same")
   End If
Else
   MessageBox.Show("No new values proposed")
End If

I only want to encrypt the password if the user is an added row (new user so the password has not been encrypted yet) or if an existing user's password has been modified and then only if the password has been changed (I don't need to run the encryption if some other data other that the password has been changed otherwise the encryption will run on an already encrypted password). I am overriding a pre-save hook method in a framework that only gives a reference to a DataTable.
